Nagato copied Haneda's methods, found them effective, and joined the revolution.

Obito will also briefly join forces with Haneda to start the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In short, the rest of the story involves changing the plot and making up for regrets.

Chapter 193 An unexpected encounter with Zabuza, and new power

The Land of Water, located southeast of Konoha, is an island nation far from the mainland.

After leaving Konoha, Haneda landed here.

Aside from the purpose of finding Ryuchi Cave to learn sage techniques, there was also an intention to try and find Haku and Kimimaro.

The land of water is often shrouded in fog; in an environment where white mist permeates the air, visibility is only a few dozen meters.

The humid environment made Haneda, who had lived in the Land of Fire for a long time, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, the enhanced vision from the Sage Body and Sharingan allowed him to quickly recover.

Upon arriving at a village, Haneda had just stepped inside when he smelled a faint stench of blood.

It was the smell of human blood, and Haneda, who had experienced three years of war, recognized it immediately.

Following the scent of blood, we arrived at a courtyard.

At this moment, a corpse lay in the courtyard, having died in an extremely simple and efficient manner: by having its throat slit.

"The Blood Mist Village is indeed in chaos."

"No wonder Bai is feared and ordinary people are afraid of him."

Haneda sighed silently.

He crouched down and closed the corpse's eyes.

"Come out, you can't escape my senses."

"Uchiha Haneda, what brings the famous Blue Flash of Konoha here?"

A large cleaver slashed mercilessly toward Haneda's nape, but was blocked by the blade.

"You are the first Mist Ninja who dared to swing your sword directly at me."

"The ninjas of Iwagakure only know how to run for their lives."

As he spoke, Haneda didn't even turn his head.

As the last word fell, a crisp "ding" rang out, and the ninja holding the large sword was knocked back half a step.

Haneda stood up, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, gripped the hilt of the Dawn Blade, and looked back at the Mist Ninja.

"The Executioner's Blade? The Seven Hidden Mist Swordsmen?"

"That's a thing of the past."

The one who attacked Haneda was none other than Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

Zabuza raised his finger, white mist spread out, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Haneda knew the person had escaped, but he had no intention of deliberately chasing after them.

When Zabuza slashed at him, he had already left something special on the other's blade.

Haneda couldn't help but smile slightly as he thought about how quickly he had found a clue about Bai.

Finding someone in the vast Water Kingdom is difficult, but it becomes much easier if you follow the characters from the original story.

That's right, Haneda left the Flying Thunder God mark on Zabuza's sword!

"I have a feeling that we are very close to finding Bai."

Haneda performed a sword flourish and sheathed Dawn.

…………

Zabuza ran for a long time after escaping.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was chasing him after half an hour.

When Haneda turned around and looked at Zabuza with his sword, Zabuza felt as if he were seeing a sleeping beast staring at him.

That aura and chakra were terrifying.

He had originally thought he could have a chance to fight the blue flash, but without hesitation, he ran away.

"Blue Flash, Uchiha Haneda, what's he doing in the Land of Water?"

Zabuza turned back and looked deeply at the place where he had fled, his thoughts turning to the death of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

Could it be that Konoha is forming an alliance with Kirigakure?

No, not possible!

Zabuza shook his head, thinking of another possibility.

That means Haneda is very likely here on a mission.

The situation between Kirigakure and Konoha is not good right now, and war could break out at any time.

Zabuza has reason to suspect that Haneda came to the Land of Water to gather intelligence!

Zabuza hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to go back.

He planned to secretly follow Haneda and leak Haneda's information to the Kirigakure so as to prevent the village from suffering major losses.

…………

Haneda sensed no trace of chakra within the village and then headed north towards the town of Sanbonki.

He had already inquired and found out that there were about ten areas in the Land of Water where it snowed all year round.

And Sanbongi Town is the closest to here.

Moreover, it is close to the Hidden Mist Cave and its direction is not much different from that of Ryuchi Cave.

Haneda found out the location of the Kaguya clan, who possessed the bloodline limit Shikotsumyaku, through the black market.

The Kaguya clan is in Kirigakure, and Kimimaro, the other person he's looking for, is there.

Moreover, the conflict between the Kaguya clan and the Kirigakure leadership has intensified, to the point where they are almost irreconcilable enemies.

Haneda estimated that the Kaguya clan would soon be preparing to launch a coup.

Suddenly, Haneda sensed that the Flying Thunder God mark was nearby, always keeping it more than a hundred meters away from him.

Haneda smiled and ignored him.

Zabuza's strength is only that of an elite Jonin, and he poses no threat to Zabuza.

Even the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was no exception.

Haneda glanced at the sky; night was approaching.

He released all his shadow clones from his cultivation practice, and after more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes.

A pale blue light screen appeared before my eyes.

Uchiha Haneda

[Strength: Super Shadow (31/100)]

[Chakra: 32.9 chakra, attributes: Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Yin, Yang]

[Bloodline Limits: Mangekyou Sharingan (Eternal Mangekyou 93%), Advanced Sage Body (Complete Sage Body 59%), Wood Release]

【Eye Technique: All Things in the Universe, Takemikaze Divine Thunder】

"Since awakening my new eye technique, the development of my Lightning Release Chakra Mode has been progressing more and more smoothly..."

Haneda murmured to himself, noting that his Lightning Release Chakra Mode had progressed at an astonishing pace compared to before he left Konoha.

In just half a month, my proficiency improved by more than 30%.

Golden lightning emerged from Haneda's palm, flashing and leaping.

In an instant, the chirping of a thousand birds resounded all around.

"Takemikazuchi, the thunder that the thunder god is said to wield."

"Thor is also known as the god of swords, the god of archery, the god of war, and the god of war."

"The Divine Thunder of Takemikazuchi is like a divine punishment, with immense power and unpredictable changes. It can be transformed into swords and other weapons, or into arrows for shooting."

Haneda gripped the sword at his waist, and golden lightning immediately enveloped the blade.

With a single slash, the cliff in front of him was instantly sliced ​​open, rolling down the precipice below.
